Compliant Sewage Treatment Plant Installation & Upgrades
Navigating the "General Binding Rules" for off-mains drainage can be complex. Water Storage Southwest specializes in the consultation, design, and installation of modern sewage treatment plants that protect the environment and ensure your property remains legally compliant.
We specialise in the professional installation of industry-leading sewage treatment plants from trusted UK brands such as Klargester and Marsh.
Unlike traditional septic tanks, these modern systems utilise mechanical components to break down waste, treating effluent to an incredibly high standard before it is safely discharged. Our team manages the entire process—including precise excavation, tank positioning, and electrical commissioning—ensuring your new system is discreet, energy-efficient, and perfectly suited to the specific occupancy and usage requirements of your property.
Upgrading an outdated, non-compliant septic tank is essential for meeting current Environment Agency "General Binding Rules."
If your existing system discharges directly into a watercourse, such as a stream or ditch, you are legally required to upgrade to a modern treatment plant. We provide seamless conversion services, replacing failing infrastructure with advanced systems that protect the local environment. Our experts ensure your new installation is fully compliant, avoiding potential fines and significantly increasing the long-term value and environmental safety of your property.
Managing waste for high-traffic sites like campsites, hotels, and industrial units requires robust, large-scale sewage solutions.
We design and install high-capacity commercial treatment systems capable of handling fluctuating loads and high volumes of effluent. From initial flow-rate calculations to the installation of heavy-duty pumping stations and grease traps, we provide durable infrastructure that ensures your business remains operational and compliant. Our turnkey approach covers everything from groundwork to final commissioning, minimising downtime and ensuring long-term reliability for your facility.
Navigating environmental legislation can be daunting, which is why we provide comprehensive regulatory guidance and site assessments.
We conduct detailed site surveys, including mandatory percolation tests to determine soil porosity and drainage capabilities. This data allows us to design the most effective discharge method—whether via a bespoke drainage field or a direct watercourse. By ensuring your system adheres to all Environment Agency and Building Regulations from the outset, we provide peace of mind that your waste management infrastructure is legal, safe, and sustainable.
Secure and efficient Waste Management
We provide a "turnkey" service. From the initial groundwork and tank positioning to the electrical commissioning and final landscaping, we ensure your system is hidden, odorless, and efficient.
